Enlexica Announces Free Online Baseball Dictionary

SANTA BARBARA, Ca. – Oct. 18, 2002. Enlexica, Inc. today announced the release of a comprehensive online baseball dictionary at www.enlexica.com. The dictionary, with over 5,000 baseball terms, was developed as a free resource for writers, students and fans of the game.

In addition to typing in a word and searching the dictionary, Enlexica offers a unique thesaurus that lets users see related terms without having to look them up. Users are presented with an initial screen displaying over 80 baseball-related subjects, like “Batting Mechanics”, “Breaking Pitches”, and “Ground Balls”. Clicking on a subject displays a page with the words related to that subject. For example, clicking on the Ground Balls page displays over 90 words to describe a ground ball, broken into smaller sub-headings like “bunt”, “bouncer”, or “tap”. When a user points to a word on a page, a box pops up that displays a definition and synonyms. Some terms include examples of usage.

The Enlexica concept was developed in response to the need for a word resource that combines a dictionary and thesaurus into one useful tool. Instead of the usual way of using a dictionary and thesaurus separately, Enlexica lets you see related terms and immediately see their meaning simply by pointing to them. “Enlexica is the type of product that really harnesses the power of a personal computer instead of just trying to duplicate what’s already in a book,” according to Enlexica’s President, Roy Kuklinsky. He added, “Students of the game of baseball can examine a subject like ‘Running & Sliding’ and learn all the terms used to describe a slide – in effect combining a dictionary with an encyclopedia.”

Enlexica, Inc. is a California Corporation located in Santa Barbara, California. The company was founded in 2000 for the purpose of developing dictionary/thesaurus software for specific subjects.

*Coming Spring 2004 (University of Wisconsin Press) THE CLASSIC ==== New York City Baseball : The Last Golden Age, 1947-1957 By Harvey Frommer

By Anonymous

December 31 2003-- Relive the golden days of the 1950s in this amazing account. When the lights came on again after World War II, they illuminated a nation ready for heroes and a city--New York--eager for entertainment. Baseball provided the heroes, and the Yankees, the Giants, and the Dodgers--with their rivalries, their successes, their stars--provided the show.

"We shall not have such an era again except in such loving books as this one." --Red Barber

“No red-blooded baseball fan will want to be without it. A genuine social history of New York sports in 1947 to 1957. A compulsively fascinating book. - - Newsday

“A look back at the heyday of Big Apple baseball when at least one New York team appeared in the World Series in 10 of the 11 years. “USA TODAY

”Lovingly described.' - - -NEW YORK POST
